A giant blue key hangs from a nail. The key is the shape of a regular house key, but has two large, staring eyes at the top and weird striations and lights all along it. It has a mouth with glowing teeth that look like circuitry. Below it, and to the left, is a small humanoid figure about a third the size of the key, reaching towards it. The background is a greenish blue fading to yellow. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A yellow humanoid figure stands against a brick-red/brown background. The figure has four googly eyes stuck to its body at various points. In its right hand, it is carrying a red briefcase. Its left hand is raised and glowing a yellow-white. Where its face would be is a large googly eye. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A humanoid figure with a bull's head stands on the end of a set of square stones floating in a blue sky. The stones are gray and beveled, and look like those from a Nintendo game. They are covered with grime and lichen, and have greenish moss hanging off them. In front of the bull, suspended from strings, are a white cartoonish cloud with sharply defined round edges, and a small green sign with "Goal" written on it in yellow letters. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

The blue silhouette of a person wearing a top hat stands in a blue-green field. The person is carrying a staff. Above them is the remnant of a stone bridge: a single half-archway, the top covered with grass and weeds. The sky is greenish-yellow. The blurry white sun sits in the top right. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

An airplane with a white body, a red stripe along the fuselage, and a blue tailfin takes off into a foggy sky. Standing on the runway, whirling a lasso, is a small figure who appears to have missed the plane by a couple of seconds. The runway looks wet; a yellow runway light reflects off it. In the distance is the foggy outline of an airport building and control tower, with a few glowing white lights on it. The sky is a heavy gray color. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A strange, abandoned looking building. The first floor has an arched window and an arched wooden door, both the same size and shape. The window reveals a black interior, while the door is shut. The second floor has an arched opening that looks like a bell tower, except instead of a bell, a single bulb hangs inside it. The building appears to be made of stone, is decrepit, and has smears of brightly colored paint around it, as though it was the target of unfocused vandals. Hanging off the left of the building is a small birdhouse. Hanging off the right of the building is a small reddish sign that reads "open". The building stands against a yellow sky, and has a sharp, pointed roof. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

Several thick, greenish, entangled vines stretch from the bottom of the image to the top. The sky behind is yellow. Sticking off from the vines are oddities: a spherical security camera; a mailbox; a highway "exit" sign; some wires; an older, boxier security camera; and a faucet. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A humanoid figure stands in a dark space. The figure appears to be made of water or jelly. It's a translucent crimson pink, with the front of it brightly illuminated by pink light and the rear side illuminated by neon blue light. A few fish swim in its interior, yellow light glinting off them. In the figure's head is a spherical smiley-face emoji. Rising up from the front of the figure's head are a few blue and pink bubbles. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A cable car suspended in a blue sky. The car looks like a small house with a pointed roof, a porch, and a large window framed in orange. Inside the window, there is a dark silhouette with horns. The exterior walls of the house are a dark green. The windows glow with yellow light. The sky is blue, with a few birds. Below is the blurry green suggestion of a treeline. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A blue, gelatinous creature with several conical tentacles sits in a dark space. The front of it is illuminated with a greenish light. It has a jagged, frowning mouth and square eyes; its facial features are white and glowing. It looks like one of the ghosts from Pac-Man in vulnerable mode. Above its head is a foggy ultraviolet-ish halo. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A figure without a visible head stands against a dark background. The figure is wearing a suit. The suit is black with a white dress shirt and black tie. A blue glowing pin is attached to the left jacket lapel. The figure is also wearing an ID badge. Where the head would be, there is a glowing, neon-green spray-painted face featuring a hot pink spiral and a blue 'X' for eyes, and a wide grin that drips down from its edges. Wild hair sticks off from the side. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman."

A figure with horns stands inside an archway of a tower. The tower is on a small, dark island surrounded by mist.  At the top of the tower is a circular opening with a bell inside it. A yellow neon sign reading "OPEN" hangs from the right side of the tower. The sky is dark blue, with a bright neon yellow-green glow coming from below. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A silhouette of a figure stands atop a large blue rectangular stone, holding a shield and a hobbyhorse. The shield features a yellow cross on a blue background. The background consists of a bright green-yellow. The stone has a large carved eye, oriented up and to the right towards the figure, and also displays some colored markings, suggesting a surface with graffiti or carvings.

A dark blue night sky with a speckling of stars, a flat and darker blue ground, and a greenish-gold glow on the blurry horizon. Hovering in the sky is a large dark blue sphere, its left edge reflecting the gold light from the horizon. On the darkest side of the sphere is a blue smiley face. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A greenish blue meadow under an eerily yellow sky. The entire scene is dreamlike and hazy. High in the sky is a blazing white sun, the light seemingly rippling out from it in waves. A few tendril-like sunbeams extend towards the ground. Planted in the middle right of the field is a small blue sign with the word "exit" on it in yellow letters. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

Two enormous alphabet blocks are stacked on top of each other. A, which is dark blue and reddish, is the base. B, on top of it and overhanging the right side, is yellow on dark green. Dangling above the blocks is a third similarly sized block, C. C is white on blue. Standing on A, looking up and gesturing to an unseen crane operator, is a worker wearing an orange vest and helmet. The sky is pink fading to blue. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A darkened blue area that suggests a stage. There is a house, although it looks like a stage prop. The house has an arched doorway that reveals a different world: a bright blue sky, green grass, and yellow flowers. Above, on the second floor, is an arched window with another different scene: another blue sky, this time with pink. A dark figure wearing a suit and top hat stands in that window. To the right of that window is a round yellow window. To the right of the house is a Victorian lamppost, which also looks like a prop. Above it is a glowing yellow crescent moon, which is very clearly a stage prop, as it is hanging from strings. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A foggy, gray scene. Two tall structures loom in the background. They look sort of like skyscrapers, but have no windows. On the right side of both are two small, white, glowing lights. In the foreground is a dark, grassy surface. Placed on the surface among the grass is a dark cube with a question mark etched on the side. Above, in the sky, a large bird circles. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A short, slightly thick, dark purple test tube floats in a greenish space. The lower half of it is filled with a dark liquid. Sitting at the very bottom of it, under the liquid, is a small green figure playing a long horn. Bubbles float up from the horn. Green steam drifts from the top of the test tube. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A large, dark-colored creature with a thick body, long legs, and an arm with long fingers stands against a bright yellow-orange background. The creature is wearing a fedora hat and has several antennae. Where the creature's face would be is a round,  iridescent, greenish-purple window. A face is dimly visible through the window, implying that the creature is actually some sort of suit. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

An extremely rickety, unevenly constructed bridge spans a chasm between two cliffs. Moss hangs from the bridge. About to step onto the bridge on the left side is a ghostly white figure. Across the bridge, on the right side, is an equally rickety and unevenly constructed traffic light, glowing red. Above and below, the sky and air are foggy gray. The dim outline of trees and mountains is visible through the fog. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A lake at night. On the left, a black forested ridge slopes down into the water. A low fog hangs over the trees and water. In the distance, a mountain range is dimly visible. Low above the range is a full white moon in a deep blue sky filled with stars. The moonlight reflects off the water. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

An ominous figure wearing overalls, a bowtie, and a flat brimmed hat stands against a blue sky. The figure is a dark purple, and is eerily lit from below with a reddish light, even though no light source is visible. The figure is holding up its left arm, at the end of which is a small yellow puppet theater with colored stars and a red roof. The theater’s window is framed by a rainbow. In the window is a small puppet wearing an orange shirt and a green stocking cap. The puppet has a simple yellow smiley-face for a head. In the sky above the figure is a white crescent moon. The painting is signed “Chris Silverman”.

A flat, barren expanse with a small platform in the middle. A large, horned monster is being lowered onto the platform, probably via a crane. The monster is a purplish orange and is holding a suitcase. To the left of the monster stands a figure wearing an orange helmet and construction vest with reflective yellow stripes. The figure is directing the crane. The ground is a dark purple; the sky is lavender. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A gray, blurry scene. A large, white thought balloon hovers above the head of a dark human silhouette. The edges of the balloon are slightly blurry. The figure is holding onto a thin white string that extends from the bottom of the balloon, as though it is an actual balloon. The figure appears to be born along by the balloon. Inside the balloon is a strange creature that looks like something between a bird and a moth. It has wide, batlike wings that have an iridescent greenish-yellow sheen, a short, tapering body, and two curving antennae. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".
